TAKEN
NEW YORK, June 28. Several
hundred "spirit", paintings and
drawings are being shown at the
Anderson galleries in a public ex
hibition. The artists are "immortals," rang
ing from little Indian girls' to- a
master of revels of the Spanish
court in the last century, and from
familiar New England ghosts to
Italians and Armenians. These "im
mortals" have executed their works
with the, corporeal assistance of five
persons now . living Mrs. Helen
Wells of 600 West 138th street;
Frederick Louis Thompson, a dis
covery of the late Dr. Hyslop; P.
Marion Spore, a young woman; Mrs.
Julia Forrest and Emily Talmadge.
Each of these five is said to be
without training and without nat
ural talent when they work with
out invoking the ghostly painters
who are alleged, to guide their
hands. None of the paintings and
drawings is a great work of art,
but many are striking.
Spirit Guides Hands. ,
The spirit of Eswald. master of
entertainment for Alfonso III of
Spain alleged to have been
ecuted for a caricature of a lady
who pleased the monarch seizes
the hands of Mrs. Wells and draws
pictures with equal skill, whether
they are upside down or right side
up to the woman herself, according
to her account.
The work of Eswald is marked by
decoration in - an extravagant style.
In which plants flower into ani
mals and human faces. One draw
ing which a few feet away appears
to be conventional ornament, on
close scrutiny develops more than
BO faces.
Mrs. Wells says that a Spanish
diplomat named I)r. Blanco recently
cross-examined through her the
spiriff of Eswald and that they re
hearsed much of the imperial scan
dal of Eswald's period Eswald
making his answers through her,
although she was in deepest ignor
ance of the follies of the court
which were being muckraked with
her automatic assistance.
Elderly Lady Is Skeptic.
Mrs. Wells, an elderly lady, said
that she was a skeptic of the mpst
stubborn school until four years
afjo when she began to receive and
write messages from her son after
his death. He brought in three
little Indian girls "White Wings,"
"Wild Rose" and "Morning Glory'
who demanded crayons and have
maintained a considerable output of
colored pictures of roses and flow
ers, drawn in a crude, simple style,
which is in violent contrast tn th
ornate and bizarre fancies which
are produced by Mrs. Well's hands
when theji are under the pilotage of
the sophisticated soul of Eswald.
.Not only artists but scientists,
philosophers and preachers use the
secretarial services of Mrs. Wells.
A considerable clique of astronom
ers dictate posthumous tt-eatises to
her.
One of the astronomers wrote
with her hand a monograph' entitled
"The Birth of a Planet," which con
tested the nebular hypothesis of La
Place. Kant and Herschel and at
tributed the formation of the solar
system to the slow aggregation of
particles m space under the action
of gravity. Growing like a snow
ball with the capture of new par
ticles and obtaining a whirling mo
tion from the impact of other par
tides and colonies of particles, the
original group gradually grew and
eventually became the earth, while
the sun and other planets were be
ing eiaooratea ty similar process
Ancient Spook Dictates.
This dissertation with the proofs
annexed was dictated o her, she
said, by the spirit of Alonzo P.
Mathewson, who was an eighteenth
century English astronomer, she
said. Mrs. Wells said that she was
personally ignorant of the fact that
any other scientist had ever sug
gested such a theory until long
after the essay had been dictated
to her' by Mathewson. Last fall,
however, she read a newspaper ac
count of an address by Thomas C.
Chamberlin, setting forth some de
velopment of the planetesmeal
theory which he originally proposed
a quarter of a century ago.
Mrs. Wells says that departed
scientists keep in touch with the
work of their successors on earth
and that Mathewson's attack on the
nebular hypothesis might be based
on the researches of the living
Chamberlin.
Erasmus is much interested in the
spirit writing, she said. The old
schoolman does not communicate
himself, but is oten present when
others are dictating to her. Lin
guistic troubles do not exist, Mrs.
Wells said, because the spirits are
prodigious students and can acquire
a, modern language in no time.
Poet Emerson Writes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, through
Mrs. Wells, has issued a postcript
to his essays. Cornelius Jansen,
Bishop of Ypres 300 years ago, fre
quently avails himself of Mrs. Wells'
powers of automatic writing. So do
many others. She gave an exhibi
tion at the Anderson galleries yes
terday in which Eswald indulged
ina little chit-chat, while her
brother, an Ann Arbor student, dead
for more than half a century, told
of the songs he and his fellow stu
dents used to sing and complimented
that seat of learning on the in
creasing breadth of its theological
teaching.
Through Mrs. Wells the spirit of
f Eswald contributed an introductory
note to the announcement of the ex
hibition, in which he' concluded:
"We submit withi pleasure our
work for your inspection, with the
one olsject in view for, which these
pictures were drawn to prove that
we are not dead."
From an artistic point of view the
work done through the hand of
Emily Talmadge is considered the
best. Much of this is merely geo
metrical, but shows a remarkable
color sense, according to Walter N.
i Grant. Some of the work done
through Mrs. Julia Forrest main
ly repeat patterns, geometrical and
arabesque are remarkable. The
windswept landscapes of Frederick
Louis Thompson are better known
' and have been celebrated in vol
umes by Hyslop and others.
The most arresting paintings of
the lot arethose done through the
mortal agency of F. Marion Spore,

having investigated the matter, I
cannot tell how, much of this work
is due to spirit control. A man in
my position has to be very careful
of his statements because skeptics
will immediately piek up any flaws.
I see no reason, however, why the
genuineness of these pictures should
be doubted. There is no doubt
about the ability of artists who have
gone before to continue their work
through a sensitive medium.
"The work on these pictures

have a total phase of five minutes
at the point selected. Pre-eclipse and
post-eclipse observations will be as

as the total phase. Wallal is a com
bined postoffice and telegraph sta
tion, the inhabitants consisting only
of the postmaster, his family, the

of aborigines. It was selected for
the expedition because of September
